First Round Playoff Thread


Eleven

Recommended Posts

The matchups are official:

 

Boston - Detroit

Pittsburgh - Columbus

Tampa - Montreal

Philadelphia - NYR

 

Colorado - Minnesota

Anaheim - Dallas

Chicago - St. Louis

San Jose - Los Angeles

 

Teams with home ice advantage are on the left.

 

I think Detroit could upset Boston, and that Chicago vs. St. Louis series is going to be entertaining.

You've got Philly and Chicago at home, but it should be NY and St. Louis.

 

Ok I was very confused for a second. I know the blues have not been great down the stretch but I thought they had home ice. Man that's going to be a great series. Not sure the blues even make it out of the first round and therefore we need miller signing before the draft to end up with that late first.

Boston was Detroit's b*tch this year. The Wings have the speed to push the tempo. They win by forcing Boston to make mistakes.

 

But how often do we see the dominant team in the regular season become the other teams ###### in the playoffs? If I we're betting on it my money would be on Boston. Now I'm going to puke.

I'd love to see Boston knocked out first round. That's what they get for blowing their wad to end the regular season on top.

Awesome, well done guys. :thumbsup:

 

So do we each send in our own picks, or do we collectively decide on the board and then send them in?

 

I set this up as a league for us to put in our own picks.

 

I wouldn't mind a SabreSpace "consensus entry" in the public bracket challenge, but I'm not going to be the guy who tries to obtain that consensus here!

Well I had to sign in through my NHL account so I'm Kirch937 for those wondering.

 

In the Conference Finals I've got

 

West:

Anaheim vs. Colorado

 

East:

Montreal vs. Pittsburgh

 

Cup Finals:

Anaheim vs. Montreal

 

Winner: Anaheim in 6 games, 37 goals

 

Stanley Cup:

Anaheim over Montreal

Nice, I thought I would be alone on having Montreal go that far.

 

I think they're the only team in the East, them and maybe NYR, that could beat Boston. Goal-tending baby

Montreal seems to be a popular pick, for good reason.

 

The East is tough. Without bias I would probably go with Boston, but I can't bring myself to it. Montreal has the talent. Pittsburgh could make a run, but they NEED Letang to play at a high level to do that. He cost them last year in the playoffs. MAF, too.

 

I could see NY finally make a run just because Henrik, but I switched my pick from them to Montreal.
